About the Book
The Mjølnir Impact Structure by Filippos Tsikalas provides an in-depth exploration of the Mjølnir impact crater, a significant geological feature discovered in 1993 in the Barents Sea region. Recognized for its unequivocal meteorite impact indicators, including shocked quartz, Ir-enrichments, and fragments of nickel-rich iron oxides, the Mjølnir crater presents a fascinating subject of study.
This book thoroughly examines the geological and geophysical history of the Barents Sea, detailing the discovery of the Mjølnir impact structure. It provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the formation of the crater, integrating numerical models that simulate the impact's creation and the tsunami generation associated with it.
The work serves as a synthesis and update on the studies of the Mjølnir crater, consolidating years of research into one complete compilation. The book will be of particular interest to geologists, geophysicists, and anyone interested in impact cratering and the historical geology of the Barents Sea region.
With 50 colour illustrations, the book offers clear visual insights into the complex structure of the Mjølnir crater, making it an essential reference for those seeking to understand both the geological impact of the event and its broader implications for tsunami generation.
